After Ning Yuxuan and Li Xiuyuan's conspiracy was exposed, the palace seemed to have returned to peace. However, new challenges were quietly approaching. One day, Li Yong summoned Su Mei to the imperial study and told her that a mysterious guest had arrived.

"Mei'er, I have an important guest named Xuan Tianyu, a famous hermit. He claims to have important information to provide me." Li Yong said.

Su Mei sensed the seriousness of the matter and asked, "Your Majesty, do you know anything about this Xuan Tianyu?"

Li Yong nodded: "I have heard of Xuan Tianyu's reputation. He is a mysterious master in the martial arts world, proficient in numerology and strategy. I think he may be of help to us, but we must be cautious."

Su Mei nodded to show her understanding, and decided to observe Xuan Tianyu's movements with her sisters.

A few days later, Xuan Tianyu arrived at the palace. He looked no more than 30 years old, with a calm expression and extraordinary temperament. Li Yong personally met him and arranged for him to live in a secret courtyard in the palace for better communication.

When Xuan Tianyu first arrived in the palace, he aroused the curiosity of many concubines. One day, Su Mei ran into Xuan Tianyu in the imperial garden and took the initiative to greet him: "Mr. Xuan, I have heard of your great name for a long time. It is an honor to meet you today."

Xuan Tianyu smiled slightly and bowed, saying, "Mei Liangyuan, I heard that you are both virtuous and talented in the palace. After seeing you today, I find that your reputation is well-deserved."

Su Mei smiled and said, "Sir, you are too kind. I wonder if you have any important information to tell the emperor?"

Xuan Tianyu nodded: "There are indeed some important things, but I am still investigating the details. The situation in the palace is complicated, and we must act with caution."

Su Mei nodded: "Sir, you are right. If you need any help, just let me know."

A few days later, Xuan Tianyu found Su Mei and whispered, "Mei Liangyuan, I found that there are some hidden forces in the palace. They have been secretly manipulating the situation. I need your help to investigate further."

Su Mei's heart tightened, and she asked, "What does the sir need us to do?"

Xuan Tianyu pondered for a moment and said, "I need you to cooperate with me and sneak into certain places in the palace to find some clues. These clues may be hidden in some seemingly ordinary places, but in fact they are of great significance."

Su Mei agreed to Xuan Tianyu's request and discussed countermeasures with Lian Di, Li Lanxin, Zhao Yating and Liu Xuer. They decided to act separately and cooperate closely with Xuan Tianyu's investigation.

One night, Su Mei and Zhao Yating sneaked into a remote courtyard in the palace, where they found some suspicious documents and letters, which seemed to be evidence of some conspiracy. At the same time, Li Lanxin and Liu Xuer found some secret passages in another place, leading to the outside of the palace.

Su Mei handed these clues to Xuan Tianyu. After Xuan Tianyu carefully examined them, his face was solemn: "These evidences show that there is a force that is secretly plotting. Their target is not only the emperor, but also the entire court."

After hearing this, Su Mei's heart trembled: "It seems that our enemies are more powerful than we thought. We must take action as soon as possible to expose their conspiracy."

Xuan Tianyu nodded: "Yes, we must act carefully and make sure no one notices."

However, just as they were working closely together on the investigation, an unexpected news came. It turned out that Xuan Tianyu was not just a simple hermit, his true identity was actually a well-known assassin leader in the world. He came to the palace to plan a shocking assassination.

This news shocked Su Mei and her sisters. They realized that Xuan Tianyu's conspiracy might be more terrible than any previous one.

Su Mei immediately told Li Yong the news, and Li Yong was also shocked and angry: "Xuan Tianyu actually dared to plan an assassination in my palace, how audacious!"

Su Mei advised: "Your Majesty, we need to further investigate Xuan Tianyu's actions to ensure that we can stop his conspiracy in time."

Li Yong nodded: "Mei'er is right, we must be careful and not alert the enemy."
